Carlton has won a crazy VFL game against Brisbane’s reserves on Saturday afternoon, with two Blues particularly impressive in the victory.
All eyes were on Paddy Dow, who continued to press his claim for an AFL recall after being dropped following his side’s Round 4 AFL win against Gold Coast.
The former pick three was impactful around the contest throughout the side’s 69-point victory, finding the ball 20 times and laying six tackles.
Will Setterfield was also lively, winning 25 touches as well as laying 10 tackles during the match.
The Blues kicked a whopping 12 goals in the opening term, with the quarter ticking over 40 minutes at IKON Park.

This season, we’ve played five rounds.
We’ve seen a number of rather embarrassing defeats by teams that were considered promising prior to the season. We’ve seen St Kilda lose by 80 points twice. We’ve seen Essendon be unexpectedly promising. We’ve seen West Coast, Fremantle, Adelaide and Brisbane struggle away while being dominant at home. The premiers have lost two games, one of which was the game of the year.

Murphy has struggled to have much of an impact, while players in similar phases of their career like Travis Boak, Scott Pendlebury and David Mundy are thriving in the midfield elsewhere.
Lyon believes the former Carlton captain should push for the move given it could spark the whole playing group.
